Sport for Business is running a number of fantasy pool games over the course of the next few months and we hope you will join us for free games that will be a bit of fun among friends and which will have small prizes for monthly winners, and something for the one among us who emerges with the bragging rights at the end of term.
Entries close tomorrow morning for our Sport for Business League in the official Fantasy Premier League game, giving you the right to show how much better you would be than Andre Villas-Boas if only you had £100,000,000 in your pocket.
If you are one of the 300,000 Irish players of the game, you can simply add yourself to the Sport for Business League here and scoring will start from this weekend’s round of matches.
We have also set up an NFL Confidence Pool which is even simpler. You forecast who you think will win in each week of NFL matches, starting on Thursday, September 5th and assign an order of confidence. If you forget a week your picks are entered automatically so it’s low maintenance but good fun if you follow the game.
Last year’s tournament was won by Jonathon Comerford of IIU and we had players from Davy Stockbrokers, as well as a host of businesses around Dublin.

If we get a good response we will look to add new games as they arise, including a Last Man Standing game in the coming weeks.
And if you are not sure of how popular Fantasy games are, and how valuable they can be to sports and sponsors, check out how Lenovo are promoting their involvement in NFL Fantasy.
